It's petty, but
Oct. 8th, 2021 01:40 pmOne of the problems with following SF/F Twitter, aside from the general trash fire it can be, is that I'm continually reminded of the success of Certain People who were breathtakingly bigoted on LJ. I don't keep up enough to know if they ever apologized (or acknowledged) their shit, but just ... getting a pass from people who rush to denounce much more minor or nonexistent past wrongs grates constantly.
Jyn/Cassian fandom has entered that phase where there is still a new fic or update everyday (lmao@ 'Rogue One fandom is dead'), but by and large they're increasingly remote from the movie at all. I mean, there were always some pretty out-there things, but I've never had a juggernaut where it didn't end up settling into wtf moderns, background pairing, interesting but peculiar AUs, TMI summaries, with the occasional a++ canonverse fic out of nowhere (usually one-shots). It's pretty much inevitable and there are lots of great fics still updating and being posted, but my AO3 filter is like...
-"canon compliant" -"Kylo Ren" -Finn -Hux -"Poe Dameron" -"Hate Sex" -"Drunk Sex" -"Bodhi Rook/Cassian Andor" -"rebel rising" -"cinnamon roll" -fusion -"not a fix-it" -"crack" -"suicide" -"kidfic"
